Twilight
Zone Zombies
In
the dream, I with friends glanced at the big set
where
I am frozen in the credits of episode of Zone,
the
Twilight Zone, which I had not seen, where I am chased
by
Zombies, those creatures who still having blood,
yet
whose eyes are dead and devoid of life,
look
for others, hapless others, making them turn
into
ones like them. I running, running and turn
this
way and that to avoid forever aspic like set
in
this life of deadness, of paces walking as if life
was
still there but missing the point of the zone
of
living with passion boiling in my blood.
But,
in the dream all of them are me; not chaste,
YET
with impure thoughts playing of undead chases
through
my heart. My years are moving to the turn
of
retirement and who am I without the hot blood
of
work flowing in my days running with full schedule set
for
each new day? Visiting with joy people in the zone
and
ideas of Spirit and children full of fun and life.
YET,
there are so many moments at desk where life
has
fled and bureaucrat roles and functions chase
away
the reason for the profession. Find it hard that zone
to
find and to be where I really care if numbers turn
from
good to worse and where I am Zombie like set
in
routine and the slow cooling of my spirit’s blood.
YET,
I see the geritol starved with tired blood
cooling
as they watch the tube for shade of life
sparkling
the routine of sup, shit, sit, stare at sets,
now
bigger and brighter, but with all life chased
away.
Where the only choice is the button to turn,
no
knob for them, and me, who watch old Twilight Zone
episodes
to recapture surprise. Twilight indeed the zone
on
the tube and me. How I long for a new day and blood
burning
of new lands. Now I move to dream lands to turn
inward
to come to peace with foundations of my second life
integrating
the honored ruins of first with all that was chased
away
as I chased after honored goals, but now new to set.
Twilight
is my zone as dark and light of new life
blend
in my blood. Dreams of my Zombies chased
and
being chased in turn until the channel changes on the set.
